While the Celtics best utilized the Slice series with KG as the trail big, the Clippers prefer to have Blake Griffin start on the block. The Clippers used this setup to get Blake catches at his left block sweet spot. If the post up is not there, the 2 and 3 can play out 2nd side action for additional options. See More

Another version of the basic Slice set. The first look is still a post up, but this set has the added variation of a pin down for the 2 if no post up opportunity is available. See More

This is a counter to the Boston Celtics Slice Roll for teams that deny the reversal pass to 3. Instead of swinging the ball to Pierce, the 4 man, likely KG, goes back into a DHO with 1, and then receives a staggered rip screen from 5 and 2. See More

This is a great counter to Slice Double with KG at the 5. The setup is the same, but instead of Allen coming off of the stagger, he sets a cross screen for KG and then receives a pin down from 4. See More

Rajon Rondo’s size often led to mismatches, and this Slice variation used by the Celtics allowed him to call his own number and get a good post up opportunity on the block. The setup looks exactly like regular Slice, but the 2 man rejects the flex screen, allowing Rondo to slip around the 5 and seal his defender. See More

This is the basic Slice set, and it is a simple way to bring your 2 or 3 to the block for a post up to exploit a mismatch. Paul Pierce was the primary option in the post out of Slice for the Celtics. See More

Looking to get a post up opportunity this is a creative set to get guards to move before the initial action is made. See More

1 pitches the ball up the court to the 2, only this time instead of shallow cutting he cuts diagonal on a straight line to the weak side block. As the ball is reverse from the 2 to the trailing 4 man the 3 pops out to receive the ball. Now instead of block-to-block action the 1 sets and Up screen for the 4 man who cuts hard to the strong side block. The first look is to the 4 and this is great action to get the 4 man into the post early and off of action that has great movement and is not stagnant. The better the screen set by the 1, the more his defender has to help and bump the cutting 4. This opens the 1 up at the top of the key for a pass from the 3. In the name of quick and consecutive action as the pass goes to the 1, the 5 sprints to set a Middle PNR for the 1. The 4 can replace up to the slot or space to the duck in area. See More

1 pitches the ball ahead and again the 2 looks to reverse the ball to the trailing 4 man. The difference is that after the 1 hits the 2 (or goes DHO with the 2) the 1 fills the strong side corner. The 4 will then reverse the ball to the 3 on the weak side. The 5 then steps to set a screen on the 2 for the slice cut (a great opportunity to post a strong guard). After setting the screen for the 2 and after reversing the ball to the 3, the 5 and 4 then set a double staggered screen for the 1 and wheel action is initiated. As the 1 receives the pass, the 5 and 4 continue to screen the 2 who looks for the shot off the second double staggered. To close the play the 4 cross screens for the 5 and post up action can ensue or an SPNR. See More

In this play, 3 runs across the free-throw line off of screens from 5 and 4. 2 moves down to the low post as 3 is making his cut. If 3 isn't open, 1 can pass to 5 at the high post. 5 can either look for a shot or pass to 2 posting up inside. See More

Duke used this play at the beginning of the game against Wisconsin on Monday night. The play starts with Okafor and Winslow at the elbows and Tyus Jones dribbling off of a ball-screen from Winslow to the right wing. Okafor gets a screen at the elbow and cuts to the low post. The first option to score is to pass to Okafor inside. If Okafor isn't open, Matt Jones cuts to the top of the key off of a down-screen from Winslow. Winslow turns to set a ball-screen creating a pick & pop action as Jones drives left. See More

Out of their secondary break, Michigan State runs rip screen to high ball screen to isolate their big on the block-primary look. Important that 5 immediately sets mid screen after setting rip screen. Michigan State runs variations of this play depending on their match-ups. See More

This play was used eary in the game against Robert Morris and resulted in a foul down low as Okafor went up for a shot off of the hi/lo pass. Coach K does a great job creating an overload that forces Robert Morris to spread out and leave 1 defender on Okafor under the basket. Okafor seals the middle man in the zone and looks for the pass over the top. In the game, x4 could have helped on the lob pass but was stuck anticipating that the ball would be pass to Tyus Jones for a 3-point shot. See More
